be staking territorial claims well beyond this planet. just under 45 minutes until rachel reeves budget, let's head over to matthew. thank you, we are waiting for rachel reeves to deliver her first budget. these are the latest pictures from downing street, fresh out of a lengthy cabinet meeting, the chancellor there she is, surrounded by her treasury team. the first budget presented by women in all of our history. we know so many of the

planks but there is so much detail. this is a huge, budget. we will go through it for the financial state of affairs for the country. the various tax rises, we are expecting almost £35 billion worth of tax rises. the largest tax—raising budget of a generation or so. some of the raw politics that undoubtedly flows from that. she will be framing this in terms of public services, the injection of cash there, helping people, she is talking about putting pounds in peoples pockets and she is repeated the overall objective, investment, investment, investment. that is to do with how a change in the fiscal rules which we will go

into in just the fiscal rules which we will go into injust a moment. she is now in the building next to me and p and q is due to start in about 15 minutes' time. let me show you the chamber because mps are already in place. the set piece of prime minister's questions happening before the delivery of that budget. already it is pretty full inside the chamber. i mentioned to the changes to the fiscal rules that is likely to be a key element of the budget. here s ben chu from bbc verify with the context. the chancellor has said her borrowing rules will change today in her budget, so what does that mean and why does that matter? well, let's start with the existing borrowing rule, to have the national debt projected to four as a share of the economy between the fourth and fifth years of a rolling five year official forecast. here was the picture during the march budget byjeremy hunt, a very small projected fall in the fifth year, as you can see there.

because the fall was so small, that meant essentially zero room for extra borrowing, but rachel reeves is, we understand, likely to use a different measure of the national debt, one that also takes into account more government financial assets, such as the student loans made by the state. so what is the significance of that? as you can see, it falls by more in the five years. the upshot is it would enable her to borrow more over the parliament to spend on capital infrastructure. so, what is that? it is things like new transport links, new schools and hospitals and also new energy schemes. she argues those are investments that will enable the uk economy to grow faster than it otherwise would in the long run. many economists think this is a coherent argument, yet they argue it is vital the infrastructure spending projects are wisely chosen and genuinely do boost the economy in the long run. and, after the experience of liz truss's mini budget in 2022, one of the most importantjobs

for rachel reeves today, is to convince the financial markets from who she will be borrowing that
